Howdy Wolfstar, Thanks for Saturday "Dose"

Howdy back at ya, Mike, and you're so very welcome.

[Wolfstar]

Hi, DrDeb. Thank YOU for all the great info and links you provide. I especially enjoy your polling insights.

Susie the pit bull, LOL!

all I need is 4 to 5 hours sleep a night and I'm good to go,I knew you were one of us.

There's a photo of David as he was leaving the ceremony, and he was carrying the medal on a pillow. It was one of the most poignant, sad and yet uplifting photos I've ever seen. I so wanted to post it today, but couldn't find it on the WH website. Maybe it was a news photo and not a WH photo. In which case, I don't know if I'll ever come across it again. Sigh.

[Wolfstar]

You're welcome, hoosierpearl. It's a heartfelt tribute. Simple, but moving. Who could fail to be moved by the pain that's so apparent on little David's face?

4 to 5 hours sleep a night and I'm good to go

I hear you all. Any more than that, am drouzy for the day.
It also helps when my big boy cat is purring in my face
early or doing touch and go landings on the bed

Probably just as well that you didn't find that picture! You would have probably had all of us crying out loud! No medal can take the place of all the hugs and kisses that the survivors don't have anymore. It's hard to even call it "surviving"! Bless them all!

I find that an occasional 15 to 30 minute nap in the early evening does me a world of good if I only got 4 hours of sleep

[MJY1288]

I'm so insistant on 5 hrs of sleep and no more, that I set my alarm even on the weekends

[hoosierpearl]

Just think of all the men that his Daddy saved. It is so sad to see David's face. I'm sure David thought his dad was a hero, but now a whole lot of people know that his dad is a hero. It's like ripples in a pond, you do something good and it spreads. So many things in the future would not have happened save for David's dad. Like the movie "A Wonderful Life", you never know what your actions will do in the lives of other people. I wish there were some way to help David too like his dad helped his men.

Was it this one

[tommix2]

How ya doing?I"m doing fine. I love this little town, the people are so polite here. I remind myself that I must be on my best behaviour lest they run me out of town for responding like I would in the big city. Wonderful neighbors. I rarely start my truck. Do all my shopping on bicycle. Need the excercise. Town is mostly level. No one has spoken a nasty word to me since I've been here.

[snugs]

I do that as well and then I wake up like I have now and will probably have to force myself to go up to bed in about 15 minutes.

[snugs]

You sound as if you are in a lovely part of the world not only the scenery but the people as well

[MJY1288]

Where do you live Tom?, I want to move there :-)

[snugs]

Time I did make a move good night all. God Bless you all and God Bless America. Hope to chat tomorrow unless you are having fun elsewhere, if not see you on the dose on Monday.

God Bless and love
Eleanor

No, the drivers never collide with one another here. And you almost never hear a horn honking. You could not make a living fixing cars here.

[SoCalPol]

Night snugs, see ya tomorrow

Thanks for the poll results (and resulting reality check--LOL!)and the great links.

I was busy for a few days last week and missed the "compromise" but seems most weren't happy with it. To me it seemed like the Repubs had the power and were foolish to compromise but did anyway; but it also seems that by delaying the Bolton vote they Dims showed themselves to be the real obstructionists they are.

Sometimes I wish the Republicans would stop playing "nice"; you know the Dims would never compromise in the same situation.
